..sure it's Discepolo?

I think Discepelo was mostly a writer of lyrics.

Agreed. Maybe it was a "best-off" show? Maybe he borrowed the Mores band for that? The only fact is that it was a carnival event!

I have never heard or read of Discepolo conducting anything.

I am not sure whether projecting this information about the next tanda is a good idea. It encourages people to invite during the cortinas or start thinking about their next partner while they're still dancing with their current one.

Okay, I'm a nerd - so when the opportunity came I took it to the max.

Oh, that's terrific. The best I've seen so far.

The owner of the location enjoyed the way his projector was used, which usually shows gentle waves on the beach. That's good for me, I'm now in the local DJ rotation.

And initial feedback from regulars indicated that I had made a good choice of music. I suppose my technical competence influenced the perception of my musical competence here, to be honest.

When I'm back on the floor next week, I might find out whether the projection distracted while dancing or not.

Another DJ now used a monitor at chest height. Personally, I found that much more distracting than the large overhead projection, because I had to dance half a round to read it. What I learned from him is to display the next tanda only at the last title.

But that's more of a disadvantage, isn't it? You can't miss the last piece to find out whether you even want to dance to the upcoming music.

That information gets displayed also during the cortina and of course when the next tanda starts. At least until that you should know whether you want to dance.
